San Francisco 49ers OT Joe Staley might be used on the left side at tackle this season. "There's a pretty good chance Joe is going to be out at left tackle," offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said. "But other than that, everything else is kind of, 'Let's see'." He has been building good chemistry with OG Zane Beadles, the left guard.

San Francisco 49ers OT Joe Staley's 2015 salary cap number was increased from $6.4 million to $7.6 million after the team converted a $6 million option bonus to a signing bonus. The team will receive $1.2 million in cap relief in 2016 due to the conversion.

San Francisco 49ers OT Joe Staley (thumb) suffered a compound dislocation of his right thumb in the first quarter of the NFC Championship game and will not be playing in the 2014 Pro Bowl as a result. Staley needed four stitches to close the wound, and he missed only one snap in the game.
